Objectives of the proposed degree major program. The proposed Performing Arts Program at California State University offers a broad, integrated undergraduate experience in music, drama, and dance, with attention to the relatively new fields of audience and performance studies. The core courses provide the base necessary for building an educational and professional career in the Performing Arts. Students take basic core courses in each of the three major areas of the performing arts Dance, Music and Theatre and choose an emphasis to follow through one of these areas. The Music emphasis (PAMU) provides for concentrated study in two areas: commercial music and musical theatre, with special attention to current and future trends. The Dance emphasis (PADA) provides for concentrated study in dance performance and musical theatre, with special attention to current and future trends. The Theatre emphasis (PATH) provides for concentrated study in acting, directing and musical theatre, with special attention to current and future trends. The Performing Arts undergraduate degree program at CSUCI has several goals, the primary of which is meeting the philosophical, educational and cultural objectives of the university mission statement. Within this overarching goal, the program will stress interdisciplinarity and the multicultural, global perspective that is the hallmark of programs. In addition to gaining expertise and experience in their chosen fields of theatre, dance or music, students will gain interdisciplinary experience in the performing arts, with education and experience in the intersections between the fields. They will also develop their abilities to think critically, analyze written and visual texts, express themselves effectively in written, physical and spoken forms, and to apply multiple theoretical perspectives. The Performing Arts major will prepare students for further study and for entry into the performing arts professions. 1e. Total number of units required for the major.

If any formal options, concentrations, or special emphases are planned under the proposed major, explain fully. Students take basic core courses in each of the three major areas of the performing arts Dance, Music and Theatre and choose an emphasis to follow through one of these

14 areas. The relatively new fields of Audience and Performance Studies will be part of each emphasis and addressed in most courses. The Music emphasis (PAMU) provides for concentrated study in two areas: commercial music and musical theatre, with special attention to current and future trends. The Dance emphasis (PADA) provides for concentrated study in dance performance and musical theatre, with special attention to current and future trends. The Theatre emphasis (PATH) provides for concentrated study in acting, directing and musical theatre, with special attention to current and future trends. 1h. Course prerequisites and other criteria for admission of students to the proposed degree major program, and for their continuation in it. Students seeking admission to the Performing Arts program must be officially admitted into CSUCI. Students must declare themselves Performing Arts majors. Students must remain in good academic standing throughout their enrollment at CSUCI. 1i. Explanation of special characteristics of the proposed degree major program, e.g., in terminology, units of credit required, types of course work, etc. N/A 1j. For undergraduate programs, provisions for articulation of the proposed major with community college programs. Lower division courses that are not unique to our program will be articulated with the community colleges in our area. Articulation may not be possible for the more interdisciplinary courses, such as PA 102: Integrating Dance, Music and Theatre, but we make every effort to provide the community colleges with any assistance they may need in offering such courses at their institutions. 1k. Provision for meeting accreditation requirements, where applicable, and anticipated date of accreditation request. N/A 2. Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program Ventura County is geographically well situated for performing arts. Los Angeles is, of course, a rich source, but Ventura County also has many performing arts venues. Music, Dance and Theatre companies abound in the area and range from amateur groups to Equity companies. Interest in the performing arts is high in the area, and artists wishing to extend their knowledge and education in the field are numerous. Students who would like to be involved in the performing arts currently must travel to the Los Angeles area or

15 to Santa Barbara, something not all students are able to do. CSUCI would provide the education and experience these students require. 2a. List of other California State University campuses currently offering or projecting the proposed degree major program; list of neighboring institutions, public and private, currently offering the proposed degree major program. Because the proposed Performing Arts degree program at CSUCI crosses the disciplines of dance, music and theatre, it is intrinsically different than the programs at other CSUs. Those that offer two or more of performing arts do so as separate entities. CSUs offering Dance, Music and Theatre include: CSU East Bay CSU Fresno CSU Fullerton CSU Long Beach CSU Northridge CSU Sacramento San Diego State San Francisco State CSUs offering Music and Theatre include: CSU Bakersfield Cal Poly Pomona Cal Poly San Luis Obispo CSU Chico CSU Dominguez Hills CSU Humboldt CSU Sonoma CSU offering Theatre: CSU Monterey Bay UC Santa Barbara, Westmont College, California Lutheran and Pepperdine are the nearest non-csu universities offering degrees in the Performing Arts. 2b. Differences between the proposed program and programs listed in Section 2a above. The primary difference in the proposed CSUCI program is its interdisciplinary aspect. Students in each emphasis will also receive working background in the other two emphases but will focus on their chosen discipline. In addition, all Performing Arts majors will take courses that pertain to their field of study but span disciplines within and outside the Performing Arts. As examples, PA 335/BUS 335: Business and the Performing Arts will give students an understanding of the special management, accounting and other business-related needs of performing arts organizations. PA 350: Audience and Performance Studies is an interdisciplinary course that will draw upon the disciplines of psychology, sociology and performance studies to give our students a firm understanding of the affects and effects of performance and audience response. PA 436/PHYS 436: Physics of Performing Arts will

16 give student performers an understanding of body movement akin to that given to athletes. 2f. Professional uses of the proposed degree major program. The bachelor of arts degree in performing arts from CSUCI will prepare students for graduate study. It will also prepare students to perform as dancers, musicians, actors, directors, or playwrights. It will also be of use to current performing artists who wish to develop their knowledge and experience bases. 2g. The expected number of majors in the year of initiation and three years and five years thereafter. The expected number of graduates in the year of initiation and three years and five years thereafter. In addition to the 23 high schools in the CSUCI service area, there are 8 community colleges. Three of those community colleges lie within the Ventura County Community College District. The estimates below are based on consultations with representatives on the community college campuses and information gathered by CSUCI personnel. Number of Majors* Number of Graduates* Initiation Year 20 0 Third Year 50 5 Fifth Year Existing Support Resources for the Proposed Degree Major Program CSUCI does not have a performing arts venue at present, but we envision building one in the relatively near future. In the meantime, our conference halls and other special use classrooms are sufficient to begin the major. CSUCI is presently converting space in the existing buildings on campus, and some of those will be designed for additional performance classes. In addition, CSUCI has developed good working relationships with the performance companies in the surrounding area, and they have suggested that their venues may be available to us. 3a. Faculty members, with rank, appointment status, highest degree earned, date and field of highest degree, and professional experience (including publications if the proposal is for a graduate degree), who would teach in the program. N. Jacquelyn Kilpatrick Professor of English PhD in Literature 1996 English professor since 1981 Active member of Shakespeare Santa Cruz Emerita member of Red Path Theatre (Chicago), active Experience in British Literature, American Literature, Drama, and Integrative Studies, with specialties in Native American Literature and Shakespeare Studies

17 Bob Mayberry Associate Professor of English MFA Theatre, U of Iowa, 1985 PhD English, U of Rhode Island, 1979 Actor and playwright Experience teaching playwriting, drama, and writing. Theodore Lucas Professor of Music Vice President Academic Affairs and Provost Ph.D. Music Composition and Ethnomusicology, University of Illinois Champaign Urbana, Additional Support Resources Required Except for on-going renovation of space, no additional resources are needed to begin the major. In the future, CSUCI will need to build a performing arts venue for classes, performances and community activities. 4b. Any special characteristics of the additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the proposed program. At least one new full time, tenure track faculty member at senior rank will be required during the first year of implementation; a second faculty member at open rank is highly desirable in order to get the program off to a solid start. Many of the courses can be taught by temporary faculty or tenure track faculty currently on campus. In subsequent years, as the budget allows, more tenure track faculty members in the various subspecialties of the performing arts will be hired. 4c. The amount of additional lecture and/or laboratory space required to initiate and sustain the program over the next five years. Indicate any additional special facilities that will be required. If the space is under construction, what is the projected occupancy date? If the space is planned, indicate campus-wide priority of the facility, capital outlay program priority, and projected date of occupancy. As noted in 3 above, CSUCI does not have a performing arts venue at present, but we envision building one in the relatively near future. In the meantime, our conference halls and other special use classrooms are sufficient to begin the major, and the performing arts courses have priority usage of the conference halls. CSUCI is presently converting space in the existing buildings on campus, and some of those will be designed for additional performance classes. In addition, CSUCI has developed good working relationships with the performance companies in the surrounding area, and they have suggested that their venues may be available to us. After the planned renovations, our current facilities will be sufficient for the first five years of the performing arts degree program. 4d. Additional library resources needed. Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase or borrow through interlibrary loan these additional resources

18 We will need to purchase a relatively small number of resources for the library. Most of these, however, will be in electronic format. Given that our enrollment at CSUCI is still relatively small, the cost of those resources should be reasonable. 4e. Additional equipment or specialized materials that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the first two years after initiation. Indicate the source of funds and priority to secure these resource needs. To implement the program, we will require lighting equipment, sound boards and other acoustical equipment, movable seating and staging, and a dance floor. Those, in addition to classroom space currently being configured and renovated, will be sufficient to run the program for the first two years. 5.
